Donate Books and other source materials

The Niels Bohr Library relies entirely on donations
of books and money for building its book collection -- a premier resource
for historians of science and others who seek to improve the public understanding
of physics and allied sciences. We welcome the direct donations of published
works in the Library's area of interest. Also, we hope that you will consider
sponsoring a book, either in your own name
or to honor or memorialize a friend, colleague, or family member.

We are looking for book donations that will help our goal of documenting
the history of physics, astronomy and geophysics from the 19th and 20th
centuries. We will reimburse packing and shipping costs.

What types of books do we collect?

Textbooks (we collect all editions)

Laboratory manuals and other instructional materials

Physical science monographs

Conference proceedings

Instrument catalogs

Published correspondence

Biographies and history of science monographs

What subjects does the collection cover?

The history of modern physics and its allied sciences (astronomy,
optics, acoustics, geophysics, vacuum science, rheology, crystallography,
physics in medicine.)

Biography, institutional history and social aspects of the scientific
community

Through collecting books that document the history of science, the Niels
Bohr Library aims to preserve this valuable information for future generations
and to provide access for researchers who wish to study it. We appreciate
your help in preserving historical documentation. We are a not-for-profit
501(c)3 organization.
